Talking and trying to educate the offenders hasn’t worked for the last 10plus years. My parents live there and I know the area very well. A lot of the greedy landlords charging stupid amounts of rents to multiple family’s in their property are to blame as well and the majority of these greedy landlords are of Pakistani descent. I’m Pakistani myself before anyone starts so not being racist/xenophobic etc I’m just stating facts. Wasn't it Pakistani landlords who first started renting properties in this area to Rome etc? From memory might be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think it was although there are a few council owned homes in the area too. The lure of getting £500-600 a month for a two bed house that previously only got around £350-400 a month was too much of a temptation.  The council bought in a selective Licencing scheme in the area but it didn’t make much difference..  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

How many of these landlords will be able to prove mortgage payments as they will be paid for cash. These so called landlords are taking the mickey out of the system with landlord schemes, a voluntary step. Landlords in this area need to be licenced like public houses in order to operate. That’s a bit strong considering houses were only fetching between £10k to £25k in the area before EU migration. My brother bought a 2 bed house on Robey street in 1999 for £11k. Money launderers invest their money in other commodities rather then run down houses in Page Hall!, 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
